Ashcroft's type 82 threaded isolation ring keeps sludge and slurry moving without clogs

Ashcroft has introduced the type 82 threaded isolation ring.

Ashcroft has introduced the type 82 threaded isolation ring. Equipped with ½ thru 2 NPT threaded pipe connections, it is designed for smaller piping applications too narrow to accommodate an internal isolation ring. Also referred to as a “barrel seal”, this economical flow-through design eliminates traps where clogs can form, thereby reducing the need for frequent maintenance. A smooth, flexible wall expands under pressure to displace isolated fill fluid into the measurement device. A choice of internal elastomer materials, fill fluids and housing materials (including 316 stainless steel) ensure compatibility with a wide range of process media and environmental conditions.
